LibriVox recording of The Spirit of the Border, by Zane Grey. Read by Leonard Wilson.
This is an early novel by the phenomenally successful author of frontier, western and sports stories. It deals with historical characters and incidents in the Ohio Valley in the late 18th century, especially with the foundation of Gnaddenhutten, a missionary village intended to bring Christianity to the Indians of Ohio, despite the violent opposition of both Indians and white renegades. This turbulent adventure romance features the heroics of a semi-legendary frontiersman, Lewis Wetzel, who attempts to protect the settlers from hostile Native Americans and the vicious white outlaws the Girty brothers. (Introduction by Leonard Wilson)

This title is the second of Grey's excellent frontier trilogy, but stands on its own very nicely. Highly recommended!

This was a very engaging and exciting book. It takes a positive view of Lou Wetzel's role in the frontier - but the author is unapologetic that this is

his intent. Zane Grey's writing may not be PC by today's standards, but he shows a deep knowledge of Indian culture and human nature and includes in his story a sampling of both good and bad men in cast of red and white characters. This story reflects the white thinking of the time as characters talk about the Indian savages. But in telling the tale, Grey shows respect for the culture and character of the Indians and weaves in the history of wrongs done to Indians which led to so much of the animosity between the races at the time of this setting.
Leonard Wilson does an excellent job reading this solo Librivox project. Len's voice is tailor made for a tale of the frontier.
